The way i see it, control the controllable. You can't control your family history but you most certainly can control diet and exercise! Most people are only concerned about fat loss when they speak the word exercise. There are so many life long benefits to be had apart from that. From an Australian perspective check these out.. Diabetes is an epidemic.. http://www.dav.org.au/epidemic/index.htm The benefits of exercise aside from "weight loss" (cardio in this case) http://www.lifeadvantage.com.au/benefitsofcardio/ 90% of adults have risk factors they can change so why not do it? (source: http://www.aboutyourwellbeing.com.au/justthefacts/) Totally agree with you.

When he finished his treatments, he lost a total of 70 pounds, and his diet became even more important. He did and still does take supplements, because he was deficient in certain areas, but he places a great emphasis on proper nutrition. In order to regain his weight and strength, he had to monitor is diet to help optimize exercise. His cancer was not determined to be base on lifestyle, but he does emphasize that proper diet helps prevent many types of diseases. And although it doesn't guarantee prevention of these diseases, it can greatly reduce the risk. My dad is a doctor who also successfully battled pancreatic cancer.
